their "merch store" https://merch.krazam.tv/ is losing out on a lot of potential revenue by not even making a reference to their most viral videos. Who wouldn't want to rock a Galactus shirt. can we crowdsource merch ideas for these guys pls

The hustle mug is a good idea.

How much do we need to pay this guy to quit software and just make jokes? This guy is an icon.

It's actually two guys as far as I can tell, but yes, they are definitely awesome.

Yeah, from their Patreon "We’re Ben and Shiva, two friends/mid-level software engineers who have been making dumb stuff together for over a decade."

Fun 15 mins. They really should have made the prize code make merch cost more, not less. I think that would have fit well with the theme!

Not sure he's actually /in/ software, but you can still pay them here: https://www.patreon.com/KRAZAM

Not sure if he still is, but definitely was. Many of his videos are filmed in the Amazon NYC office.

Krazam really captures the feeling of working for a mid-sized startup in SF perfectly. The pedantry, the braggadocio, and most of all the absurdity and the alienation one feels working on this stuff.

> braggadocio

Thank you for showing me a new word today!

I'm surprised he got the go-ahead from Amazon to film there

The affirmations video is great. I'm still waiting for a Makro comeback as well!

Click on “safe space”. DEVOPS is a meaningful term. YOU WERE BORN TO DEPLOY KUBERNETES CLUSTERS!

This had me laughing too. Very cool. Kind of neat that this one sits right next to the meta OS article...

Cue music from the lion King ...

Can you feel the irony tonight... It's so obvious..

Huge meta corps writing a spurious OS..

What a hideous mess...
